<p>Born and raised in PA. Graduated from Penn State and a HUGE Nittany Lion fan. Beautiful campus.</p>
<p>Can’t go wrong with either one but fast forward 27 years…</p>
<p>Twin sons are in their 3rd and final year at Bama prior to heading off to medical school next year (probably Ohio State no less, ROLL TIDE).</p>
<p>Bama Positives not in any particular order (not sure about PSU anymore)
- Best College Confidential family
- Guaranteed scholarship money if you qualify
- Accepts lots of AP credit
- Lots of opportunity (Outdoor Action, Nicaragua medical trip, study abroad, Health hut, etc.)
- My favorite campus
- Weather
- Bama very personalized and the only school that acted like they were recruiting students
- Honors college excellent (I second Longhaul’s recommendation for Dr. Shane Sharpe, he is outstanding)
- Best dorms</p>
<p>The list goes on…</p>
<p>If I could do it over, I would attend BAMA but it’s all about personal preference. No matter where you go, have fun but get involved and study hard as you’re setting yourself up for the rest of your life. Your undergraduate school is not going to get you into medical school, you’re going to get yourself into med school!!!</p>
